Viewing a List of Open Tables
You can view a list of open tables and can perform operations on the open tables in the Table List
window.
To access the Table List, do one of the following:
• Click the Table List tool in the Main toolbar.
• On the Table menu, click Table List.
The Table List window displays. Use the Table List to manage open tables and their attributes.
The Table List has the following features:
• Modeless, so that you can open it and leave it open for the duration of your session. (Modeless
windows do not have OK or Cancel buttons.)
• Dockable to any of the four sides of the MapInfo Professional window: top, left, bottom, and right. The
Layer Control window and Table List Window can also share the same space.
• Drag and drop enabled, so that you can select tables and drag and drop them to a blank area to open
them in a new Mapper window. When dropping tables on to an existing Mapper window, MapInfo
Professional adds them to the Mapper window as new layers.
• Sorting enabled, to sort tables based on ascending order of table alias (name), descending order of
table alias, and recently opened. Sorting criteria persist across different MapInfo Professional sessions.
• Multi-Selection enabled, to select multiple tables using the Ctrl or Shift keys.
• Context Menu enabled, so that when you right-click on table aliases (names) a pop-up menu displays
and you can perform the desired operations.
• Searching enabled, you can search for a table name in the Table List Window by typing characters
in a Search text box. The Table List Window list refreshes itself to show only those tables that contain
the search characters.
For information about how to work with the Table List, see Working with Tables in the Table List .
Displaying Data Details using the Statistics Window
The Statistics window displays the details of a selected data record. This information must exist in the
.TAB file's metadata to display in the Statistics window. As the selection changes, the data is re-tallied,
and the statistics window is updated automatically.
To see the details of a data record:
1. Open a .TAB file with statistical data in it.
2. Select a geographical object in the Map window.
